Get up, Stand up.

This is harder than I thought.

I thought I could just write about stuff and it would automatically be good.

I used to write papers in school with one draft.

Boom-boom-boom, done...let me proof read yours now.

I'm mostly starting a blog because I don't like to journal. It hurts my hand

and I can't/don't read what I have written after I have written it.

My revelation for today is that the Gospel can defend itself.

I have spent tons of time trying to defend God. It won't work.

No matter who it is, someone will argue with about whether or not

God is God. They'll argue about the Bible, they'll try to tell you there's good 

and bad in everything. They'll try to make you feel stupid for what you believe.

We, as people who believe Jesus is who he says he is, need to first and

 foremost be examples of what the Bible says to be.

How can we expect whoever it is we're conversing with to do something we're not? 

I'm not saying that we shouldn't speak truth. Whatever we say, as long as we're 

true to what the Bible preaches, will resonate and the Holy Spirit will use it.

Be bold, speak what you think. There are too many christ followers who are 

afraid to talk about what they believe in. I'm including myself. (I try to speak 

those things that aren't as if they are, it helps me)

I want to be clear here, apologetics is very important. There is absolutely

 nothing wrong with having a discussion about God, lots of people do it.

 Just remember that if someone is coming against you with a strong and

 seemingly sound argument, you have the upper hand! You can just ask 

the Holy Spirit what to say and it will ALWAYS be something that the

 other person needs to hear. Gods word can defend itself. God can make 

people love Him, He's the ONLY one who can. He turns hearts 

toward him, He makes their hearts ready. We merely step in and take the

 tangible role as His hands and feet. Don't feel stupid for not having the

 perfect response to someones impossible question. Remember that God

 is using you, even if you can't quite remember which guy went on top 

of that mountain to pray for rain or why.

Too many people get SO down on themselves for screwing up a 

conversation with someone, or not having a comeback. Everyone

 wishes they would have had that perfect response, the one that leads

 people to crying and repenting on the floor. We all want that.

Gods Word can stand on its own. You didn't accidentally make

 someone hate God. You didn't say the wrong thing and now that

 person's going to hell. 

That wasn't as hard as I thought. 

I do feel strange though, I think it's just because I am still walking 

out of living a life full of the fear of man. What if someone leaves

 a mean comment?! oh no, my social life is OVER.

On that note, goodnight.
